Not a bad Masterpiece Beast Wars Dinobot, but his dinosaur part colors are wrong because the colors are accurate to his Hasbro toy counterpart. I'm pretty sure that TakaraTomy will come up with an MP-41+ Beast Wars Dinobot soon.
I feel the complete opposite of you Paul. The Beast Wars, as with the Movie Masterpiece lines, have far more engineering than the G1 Masterpieces. Transforming a raptor into a robot is far more complex than a blocky cartoon truck into a robot. And for the record l, I love all the masterpiece lines. I just appreciate Hasbro has the guts to tackle Beast Wars and also Bay Transformers lines.
optibotimus I totally agree with you on that and feel that's more of a tip of the hat to the simplicity and pureness of the G1 cartoon itself(both vehicle and robot modes). Beast Wars and especially Bay Transformers relied on physics cheats to pull off their transformations.
Yea, but the Beast wars masterpieces have a harder task in front of them. Car bots get the ENTIRE underside of the car to hide robot parts. It would have been impossible to hide all of the robot bits. The only way to do that would be to sacrifice the robot mode. Takara made the executive decision to focus on the robot modes for this line. You kind of made it sound as if Takara had decided to focus on the beast modes and sacrifice bot mode, you would have considered it a masterpiece. A lot of subjectivity in this review but that's your right. I understand you prefer the alt modes for beast wars but i think you are being slightly unfair considering getting dinobot that close in both modes was probably harder than any transformer the company has ever made. (rivaled only by MP-36)
For a time, Dinobot was my favorite character. He has since been replaced by Knock Out. I seem to have a soft spot for bad guys that decide to switch sides.
The panels in dino mode is a shame but unless it's a animated charactor you'll never get a transforming figure to look good in both modes. This could of shell formed a lot more to improve the dino mode but then the robot mode would of suffered. Putting the goggles on I love the figure in both modes, it's not my fav mp figure released and the one I'm grabbing on the way out if the house is on fire. Collectors won't accept the higher price tag until they get it in hand, see how big it is and feel the weight. I also love how the generations figures scale, rat trap rhinox and black Arachnida are now on my mp beast wars shelf. I can't wait until megatron next year
So...robot mode parts squeeze into the raptor torso...and raptor mode parts squeeze into the robot mode torso...I don't think I've ever seen that kind of engineering on a transformer before in both modes.
They were only really confined to their beast modes in season one. After the large deposits of energon are destroyed at the end of season 1 they were more freely able to use robot mode outside of their bases in which they started to be in robot mode vastly more than beast.
Thanks for the fantastic review. I'd have to say my favorite review on this figure. I haven't really liked the alt modes of any of the Beast Wars stuff, and although he looks the part in robot mode he has always looked shaky in the hips and problematic ankles. I sort of expect a bit more for the price point. It's to bad the Masterpiece G1 releases have been slowing down, getting to the end of the character list. Not only are they main collection, but I always really enjoy your reviews for them. It is nice watching reviews on characters I'm interested in seeing but not buying, so again, thanks for the in depth review.
It must be hard for toy creators to recreate a perfect beast mode for these Transformers, I understand that the panels and other robot parts will show up in the toy, they did a good enough job, but it's definitely not perfect, the robot mode is amazing for sure! The only true way to make a perfect beast mode would have been to make it a "parts-former" or a "shell-former", but fans really don't like that very much, especially a Masterpiece Transformer! Not really sure how Takara could have done it differently, but they certainly could improved the ratchet joints for the robot mode and feet of the dino mode to make it stand more properly, but in all, that was one cool review! (BTW Paul, you forgot to say "Dinobot, Maximize!") LOL
Appreciate the honesty of the review - esp. the thought that is BW fans have been waiting for this for so long that we might be overly impressed with him. BW are tough to make - don’t have mine yet, but the idea that these haven’t been made with the love put into the G1 is provoking
OH did it? Maybe because i'm going through moving. Going through a divorce and going through a bunch of personal stuff financially that i'm trying get situated that doesn't let me perform as quickly as YOU want me to.
Optibotimus the pink sword represents dinobots last moment in the sunset before he died I
Japan loves the robot mode vs beast mode, which is why the robot mode was always priority in making it as perfect and show accurate as possible
Idk why people are mentioning Jobby because he reviewed this too. Is it really a surprise for reviewers to review the same thing as others?
Who the hell is Jobby even? But yes, who cares.
Noman Ansari He’s another toy reviewer who’s really funny, but some of the fans act pretty immature.
alviiin Oh well, different strokes for different folks
its a nice looking figure, but 250usd for that.. is just to much...

Thanks for the review. I would like to see a transmetal version of this toy.

Yeah but look at one of the G1 figures like Sunstreaker. Perfect representation of the vehicle. Perfect representation of the robot.
Emphasis on "vehicle" Paul!

Skywarp is the other side switcher in prime right?

So you just did Dinobot, could you now please finish the Dinobot(s)???

Yeah but even after season 1, they still predominantly used their beast modes.
The spinning sword collapses to half the size dude...
I can't wait until one of these 3rd party companies do a Dirk Dinobot "upgrade kit."
Its nice to see your still expanding your beast wars collection. Is a raptor still your favorite dinasour
Can't get the front chestplate "face" to stay latched onto the blue underpiece and it is really frustrating me

Honestly, the transformation looks so painful. Maybe not as painful as the MP Megatron, but man, it looks so frustrating.
Voyager space probe. I looked it up once just out of curiosity. I was shocked to learn it's a real object and not a piece of fiction.
Yeah, they're real. We sent two Voyager craft into deep space in the 1970s.
What if his background was a green screen and just made it white 😂😂
I've seen Paul's setup at the time of filming. The background's a sheet of white flexible plastic. It plays holy hell with white action figures.
Great review I do enjoy the long reviews!
Did realize you had the original Legends Rattrap! I wanted it specifically for the red eyes
Great review of a great toy. :D I've got him on my desk while watching this review.
Paul, Are some of those parts a soft rubber? The chest especially looks it would be.
This guys sold out at bigbadtoystore...any idea how i can get him?
Vexatron Primal tf source. eBay
Vexatron Primal you could find Dinobot at Amazon
The only problem i have is the loose hip-leg joints.. making him quite tough to pose..
Hello! How I extract the batterys of the eyes please!!!???😱😱😱
I really hate how inconsistent they are with the display bases.

Wait for the BW Megatron review ;)
OK, don't forget "Megatron, Terrorize!" I know you make a good impression of Megatron! ;)
Did somebody say 3rd party dinobot sword??? Something from the likes of Dr Wu would be cool
this review fits perfectly with your opening....
Did you paint the eyes red on your rattrap?

if you don't think love went into making this figure, then you don't know what love is
Right! You don't know what love is Jerry
Will you be reviewing Transformers Masterpiece mpm 7?
Crazy how much transformers have improved over the years
One would expect a $200 figure to be better than a $16 one.
I love this figure but I can't find out how to get his DAMN TEETH TO COME OUT AGAIN
paul did you watch the Venom trailer?
Great video! Do you have a vid on that cheetah at the end?
Pablo Escobar he does just search “masterpiece Cheetor optibotimus”
starscream7755 thank you!
I also thought the Generations Rattrap is heavily underrated
I completely understand the issues with it but I still want it
FINALLY, I FEEL LIKE MY DAD WHEN HE FINALLY GETA HOME
We need a masterpiece blaster, devastator, and a reflector
KFC has a Masterpiece Blaster and there's plenty of choices for Reflector...Official MP has never done a combiner, I'm here for that!
What? No robot to alt mode transformation?
Stay strong in your life struggles my man 😢💪🏼
Do power of the primes nemesis prime he is a Amazon exclusive
No interest in buying him. Sorry
Sick!!
I love transformers toys 🤩😀😎😄😃
Came here while watching "HoH SiS repairs JoJ"
FINALLY !!!
You should play bass
One of the most Unintuative transformations.
This one's a pass for me. Beast Wars Megs though...
I miss the hot toys
Got 3 coming. Patience.
O agree best mode should be beast mode
I
Took you long enough
OH did it? Maybe because i'm going through moving. Going through a divorce and going through a bunch of personal stuff financially that i'm trying get situated that doesn't let me perform as quickly as YOU want me to.
@@optibotimus Divorce, huh? That's rough. Sorry to hear it.
Should pay more attention to things like my twitter, facebook or update videos ;)
Thank you though!
Im sorry to hear of your divorce

Cool story. Why are you bothering to tell me ethat?
